Dorothy was born September 15, 1919, in Roberts County, South Dakota, the eldest of 3 children born to Thomas and Cora Casey.

Following high school, Dorothy attended Minneapolis School of Business for a year.
Dorothy was united in marriage to Cevelius T. "Bye" Bylander on January 1, 1940, in Sisseton, SD. The couple lived in Columbia Heights, MN, with their 3 daughters until moving to Vergas, MN, in 1945, where they welcomed a son. The couple owned and operated a farm on Sybil Lake, which they also turned into a bed and breakfast, eventually opening up Bylander Resort right next to the family farm, which is still in operation today due to its great tenants. Dorothy was a very creative woman and was always on the go. She enjoyed cooking, spending time outdoors; bird watching, gardening and even served as 4-H leader for a number of years.
She is survived by 2 daughters: Phyllis Bylander and Dolores Bernauer; one son, Mark Bylander; 12 grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren; 12 great great grandchildren; and a half brother, Tom A. Casey.
Preceding Dorothy in death were her parents; husband, Cevelius "Bye"; 2 brothers; a daughter, Deanna; and 2 infant granddaughters.
